2017 Map of Buxton

About this map

Buxton serves as a central hub in this corner of Washington County, where the Banks-Vernonia State Trail follows a historic rail alignment through the landscape. The geography is defined by a series of deep drainages including Hares Canyon, Poliwaski Canyon, and Paisley Canyon, which feed into the wider basin of W Fork Dairy Cr. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Buxton Cem and Hayward Cem, serving the rural community near the settlement of Hayward. Small-scale aviation and water management are evident through facilities like Apple Valley Airport and several engineered bodies of water, including Green Valley Reservoir, Schmadeke Reservoir, and Whiteman Pond. The northern reaches of the map rise toward Green Mtn, while Wildcat Mtn and Eagle Peak stand as prominent landmarks to the west.
